Silent Hill’s such a screwed-up city even its buildings have issues.

The graphics are just incredibly beautiful. I'm a game developer student, and dream of making a game as gorgeous looking as this one. My question would be, how did you achieve this graphics? Did you made you own shader, or used one that one could somehow find someplace? Could you please help me just by pointing me in the right direction or giving some technical advice on how to make graphics like these? Thank you very much.

Thank you! Our shader is actually incredibly simple. We’re using UDK and we pretty much just told the engine not to use a shader, so everything is lit omnidirectionally by the sun color. We did it through their material editor, so I don’t know how to transfer it to various engines, but it’s just the texture * the light color, I think!

I strongly believe that studying color theory had a bigger effect on Eidolon’s look than any technical information, so that’s what I’d point you to! A lot of the textures are heavily hue-shifted to give the illusion of lusher lighting (most things that look brown in the game are actually dull greens, for instance). I know this wasn’t your question, but Creative Color by Faber Birren and The Elements of Color by Johannes Itten are some pretty sweet texts if you’re interested in making arresting visuals!

I tried to recreate the gameboy limitations inside Unity3D free: using no render to texture, visualize everything with only 4 colors and the limited resolution (in this case upscaled 4x). So even a 3D game would satisfy the requirements, even though the original console would not be able to run that. I might think of adding automatic dithering too.

Did you write a shader to do that?

Right, it’s a shader and a script that attaches to the main camera. I posted it all to Github, with an example project and usage instructions.

Oh, interesting, thank you for sharing the source. :)
